Multivariable And Parametric Functions
Description
Suppose we wanted to turn the multivariable function,
(1)\begin{equation} f(x, y) = (x^4 - 5x^2 + 4 + y^2)^2 \end{equation}
into a parametric function, where
(2)\begin{equation} x = f(t) = 2t + 5 \end{equation}
and
(3)\begin{equation} y = g(t) = 3t - 1 \end{equation}
We can use Sage to accomplish this.

Code
var('y t')
f(x, y) = (x^4 - 5*x^2 + 4 + y^2)^2
f(x=2*t+5, y=3*t-1)
Options
Expanding the output
The above cell produces a correct, but not easily readable output. We can clean it up with .expand()
Code
var('y t')
f(x, y) = (x^4 - 5*x^2 + 4 + y^2)^2
f(x=2*t+5, y=3*t-1).expand()
